Yep, Front Far East produced the Super Wildcard series of copiers. I have one of their devices - a Super Wildcard DX. Before the time of flash cards these were the defacto means of playing backups on consoles.

Completely obsolete now of course... Who wants to wait for 3 full floppies to be loaded and read into memory sequentially before starting Final Fantasy? 😁

Do you know where to get drivers for the drive I have? I'm thinking of using the controller for something fun. The floppy drive is in a computer 🤣

It's probably in 4 bit mode where it uses 4 data lines and 4 of the status lines. Floppy drive probably takes 5V.

Sounds a lot like one of the IO Magic crimes against computerdom, heh, they made a lot of unusual and weirdly configured stuff. Though poking around their website from a few different eras shows no sign of it. Might have been some otherwise white box outfit trying to hook their consumer recognition.

There is a slim possibility, that drivers never existed for this... there were some laptops that had a dual mode parallel port, which had special floppy drives, where when one was connected it was handled by BIOS like an internal floppy drive. So if it's one of those, no regular DOS driver 🙁 However, these were around as a general solution for laptop users who found themselves floppyless, so still hope.

Edit: Ooops, the lighting on the thumbnail made me jump to conclusions, looked closer, it does have 8 data lines hooked up and few status lines, so I think it was meant to be used with a bidirectional parallel port.
